"Who wants me around?" Sarah Ferguson's hilarious Coronation response
Sarah Ferguson has joked about being invited to King Charles' Coronation in May, claiming she hasn't received an invitation.
While in New York to promote her new book, titled A Most Intriguing Lady, a question came from the audience if she was planning to attend the royal event, given some members of the royal family, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, had already received their email invites.
"TBD [to be determined]," she said before asking, "The invitations haven't gone out yet. Have they?"
After a murmured response from the crowd, the Duchess quipped that her invitation could be waiting for her at home.
"I'm travelling at the moment, so maybe it [invitation] has gone to another place," she said to host and Glamour magazine editor Samantha Barry.
"The invitations haven't gone out yet, so I don't know if I'm going to be there because, you know, who wants me around," she joked.
Fergie also joked about other grand plans she may have for the big day if she doesn't make it to Westminster Abbey.
"Well I've decided the best thing about being British around a coronation - although I've never been to one - I think we should, I should set up a tea room at the bottom of the drive with bunting and cakes," she said.
When asked if she had any advice for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who have received their invitation but are yet to announce if they'll attend amid the deepening family rift, Fergie said she aimed to "lead by example" to the young royals.
"I think the best way to answer that is to really take hold and lead by example," she said.
"I wouldn't give advice, I would say that your actions speak louder than words."
